Piano Trios: Looking to Spice Up Your Program?

Are you a member of a piano trio? Have you been looking for a way to spice up your next recital or audition tape? Consider joining the commissioning consortium for Shimmer, a new work for Piano Trio by Ezra Donner.

Shimmer will be a 7-10 minute work for violin, cello, and piano, blending moments of serene lyricism with raucous mixed-meter dance passages. By joining this commissioning project, your ensemble’s name will appear in the score in perpetuity, and your group will enjoy exclusive performing and recording rights for one year after completion.

Ezra Donner (b. 1986) is an American composer, pianist, and educator. Described as “energetic and good humored” (The Big City), his music combines passion, wit, and sensitivity with an interest in music’s ability to communicate a wide range of emotions and ideas.
